SWIFT IOS - CRDS UNOS hardware replacement

The SWIFT Instructor Station upgrade is a complete replacement for Instructor Stations using Charles River Data Systems computers and the UNOS operating system.

SWIFT uses COTS Intel Architecture PC running a customised version of the NetBSD operating system. All of the components of the IOS are run as native tasks within which a UNOS environment is emulated along with a MC68000. The RSL TASC graphics subsystem is replaced by an X Window version communicating with the host.

Host Communications

SWIFT uses a native comms module that emulates a Reflective Memory segment within the UNOS environment, reads and writes of this area trigger the native comms module. The native comms module can be ethernet, serial or SCRAMnet.

Upgrade details

SWIFT will be supplied and installed on-site with the minimum possible disruption. We prefer to receive save tapes and pre-build the load to minimise the simulator slot time requirements.
